Compiling

[Pat]

Hi All,

I am looking for information on compiling
Word VBA, first of all Word97 VBA
or any other method of hiding source
program in VBA for Word.

Could anyone help me?

Within VBA environment, you cannot hide your code except very weak
protecction of setting project password.

The common practice in this regard is to move major code logic into an VB
ActiveX DLL project with necessary code change (or no change at all,
depending on code itself), compile it into an ActiveX DLL file, and then
call the DLL in VBA code. This VBA project will only contain a few macros
and very simple code that call "invisible" code in DLLs. Of course you need
VB5/6. You can also use VS.NET (2002/2003/2005) for this purpose with a
little trick applied (if you know MS .NET stuff).

Thank you very much.
